Movie Review: ‘Crazy Rich Asians’ Starring Constance Wu, Henry Golding, Michelle Yeoh
I have nobody to blame but myself for seeing Crazy Rich Asians. When I first saw the trailer, I made a joke to my editor about how I’d probably be the one ReviewSTL asked to review it since I am, in fact, Asian. Didn’t think anything of it. Surely they’ll find someone to cover it. […]
Review: ‘Avengers: Infinity War’ Out Today on 4K, Blu-ray and DVD!
The biggest movie of 2018 is now available on Blu-ray and DVD! Avengers: Infinity War brought in over $2 billion dollars at the global box office earlier this year, with Black Panther (the previous Marvel Studios entry) coming in 2nd. The film now holds the record for the largest worldwide opening of all time, with […]
Movie Review: ‘The Meg’ Starring Jason Statham
Frantic and humorous, The MEG is the best marine biology documentary this side of Finding Nemo. Before I was old enough to start kindergarten, both of my parents worked, so I spent most of my days at a daycare that one of my mom’s friends ran. We basically just sat around and played with her […]
Movie Review: ‘Far From the Tree’
“Every one of us has mountains that we have to climb. We have to climb those mountains for ultimate fulfilment” I thought this line spoken toward the end of the new documentary, Far From the Tree, perfectly encapsulated the meaning and message of the film. This line is spoken by Andrew Solomon’s father during a […]
Movie Review: ‘Christopher Robin’ Starring Ewan McGregor, Hayley Atwell, Bronte Carmichael
Disney has seen outrageous success recently with live-action adaptations of their classic animated films. Jon Favreau’s The Jungle Book was a smash hit in 2016, ending the year in the top five highest grossing films domestically. Beauty and the Beast was an even bigger juggernaut at the box office the following year holding the number […]
Movie Review: ‘The Darkest Minds’ Starring Amandla Stenberg, Mandy Moore, Gwendoline Christie
The Darkest Minds is the live-action directorial debut of Jennifer Yuh Nelson (Kung Fu Panda 2 & 3) and is the story of Ruby Daly (Amandla Stenberg), a sixteen year old girl with special abilities she cannot yet control.

Review: Bo Burnham’s Directorial Debut ‘Eighth Grade’ is REAL, and Really Good
It’s hard being a kid. That’s something that never changes. No matter how technology has advanced and evolved, there are certain things that have stayed the same way forever. And trying to fit in, co-exist with your peers, and be accepted is one of those things. That’s what Bo Burnham reminds us of in his […]
Review: ‘Mission Impossible – Fallout’ Starring Tom Cruise, Henry Cavill, Rebecca Ferguson
When it comes to pure action films, there are few who do it better than Mission: Impossible. Although it started with the first film mostly being a spy/thriller adapted from a late 60s television show of the same name, the franchise has evolved into what some may consider one of the greatest action franchises of […]
Movie Review: ‘Unfriended: Dark Web’ Starring Rebecca Rittenhouse, Betty Gabriel, Chelsea Alden
Social media is such an enormous part of modern day society that it was all-but-inevitable that we were going to begin getting unconventionally shot films made up entirely of different social media platforms. Leave it to Blumhouse Productions to actually do it right too. In 2015, with a measly one million dollar budget, Unfriended was […]
Movie Review: ‘The Equalizer 2’ Starring Denzel Washington, Pedro Pascal
Once you’ve seen enough movies, eventually you start to associate certain actors and certain directors. DiCaprio and Scorsese, Arnold and James Cameron, Bruce Campbell and Sam Raimi, Tyler Perry and…Tyler Perry. Another duo that’s popped up since the turn of the century is Denzel and Antoine Fuqua, whose 2001 Training Day has become something of […]
